A Replication CR object defines the replication relationship between the primary and secondary sites. When created in the primary site, it triggers creation of:
  • Universal Replicator pair
  • TrueCopy pair
  • Initial data copy
See Understanding Replication CR Workflow for more details.
  1. Navigate to the primary site.
    The site where the Replication CR is created is automatically considered the primary site.
  2. Create the Replication CR object. Enter: 
    # KUBECONFIG=${KUBECONFIG_P} kubectl create -f hspc_v1_replication.yaml
    Note:
    • When the Replication Plug-in for Containers detects a new Replication CR, it automatically creates the corresponding Replication CR and PVC in the secondary site.
    • The Replication CR creates a copy pair between P-VOL and S-VOL in a default copy group. Additional pairs created with the same manifest are added to this copy group.
    • The default copy group name for Universal Replicator is:
      spc<Primary storage device ID><Secondary storage device ID>
    • The default copy group name for TrueCopy is:
      spc<Primary storage device ID><Secondary storage device ID>t
    • The default copy pair for both Universal Replicator and TrueCopy is:
      spc-<Primary Volume LDEV ID>-<Secondary Volume LDEV ID>
